Not that I can see, looking here:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/vclib/html/vcrefRunTimeLibraryReference.asp

The library found at
http://sourceforge.net/project/shownotes.php?release_id=209006 seems to
have what is needed, but I really don't think we can impose that extra
requirement at this stage of the release cycle, do you? ISTM either we
need to revert this or change it to use an API that is already known to
be supported.
